Chapter 511: A Temporary Break
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Wei Honglin to fall at the head of Wanghai City, and then walked in front of the officials of Wanghai City headed by Liang Cheng, and stood with his hands in his hands, without saying a word.
Liang Cheng, as the city lord, naturally couldn't slack off, so he had to take his subordinates to greet him, bow down, and everyone said together: "See the Prime Minister!"
"Excuse me!" Wei Honglin waved his hand, and then looked directly at Liang Cheng for a while before he spoke: "Liang Cheng, you are guilty!"
Liang Cheng took a step forward and replied without being arrogant or humble: "I don't know what crime I have committed, please make it clear to Prime Minister Zuo." ”
Wei Honglin sneered: "Hmph, you pushed it clean, let me ask you, why do you want to harm the grandson of Ao Yi, the dragon king of the Nebula Beihai Jianhua Division, and cause the disaster of swords and soldiers for Wanghai City?"
Liang Cheng's face remained unchanged, and he replied: "The lowly position fought with a little green dragon, and it did hurt him, but the lowly position didn't know his identity, and he didn't take the initiative to harm him. I saw this fang slaughtering the Terran monks who went to sea at will in the sea near the Nebula, so I didn't take action and injured it. If Prime Minister Zuo doesn't believe it, I can take you there to check it out on the spot, those Terran monks and shipwrecks killed by Xiao Qinglong must still be at the bottom of the sea, so it shouldn't be difficult to find the traces of that day. ”
Wei Honglin said: "The Nebula Offshore Sea is originally the junction of the Terran Sea Clan, even if according to what you said, it is the little green dragon who took the lead to deal with the Terran monks, it is not an unreasonable thing, even if those monks are injured or killed, they are only to blame themselves for their lack of skill, after all, they go to sea to hunt sea beasts, and it is normal to arouse the hostility of the Sea Clan."
Liang Cheng smiled slightly when he heard this: "What Prime Minister Zuo said is naturally reasonable, but it is the same when it is said in reverse, which shows that it is not an unreasonable thing to deal with Xiao Qinglong, even if Xiao Qinglong is injured or killed, he only blames himself for his lack of skill, after all, it is normal for him to come to the Nebula offshore sea to hunt the Terran monks, causing the Terran monks to be hostile." ”
"This ......" Wei Honglin was speechless for a moment, his face sank, Liang Cheng returned this original sentence, so that he really didn't know what to say.
Tong Hai said on the side: "The city lord is right, those sea clans are the most unfortunate things, according to the lowly investigation, in fact, they have long coveted my Wanghai City, even if there is no matter of the disappearance of the little dragon cub, they will come up with other excuses to invade my Wanghai City, this is called the crime of wanting to add, there is no excuse! So the city lord is not at fault, please Zuo Prime Minister to be clear!"
Wei Honglin glared at Tong Hai: "A little Captain Zhiguo, what do you know!"
When Tonghai heard this, he immediately didn't dare to say much, but the expression on his face was obviously unconvinced, and he felt that it was unreasonable for Wei Honglin to make things difficult for Liang Cheng for this matter.
Wei Honglin glanced at Liang Chenghe and the officials and monks standing behind him, and could obviously feel that everyone was dissatisfied with him, although the cultivation and status of these people were like ants compared to himself, but after all, he Wei Honglin was still a courtier of the Great Xuan Kingdom, and he could not cover the sky with one hand, follow the law, and ignore the people's hearts and minds of the people in a city.
So Wei Honglin slowed down his tone and said to Liang Cheng: "Liang Cheng, what you said is not unreasonable, so let's do it, the Sea Clan came to invade my territory, just to want some benefits, wait for the old man to communicate well with the old dragon head of the Jianwei Department, first see what he thinks, and then let's solve the problem." However, according to the old man's opinion on the Jianhua Department, this kind of dragon clan is the most greedy for money, you had better make some preparations in advance, if you can use some money to compensate to avoid swords, the old man still thinks it is worth it. ”
Liang Cheng thought about it, if it was really as Wei Honglin said, he could avoid paying some money
To avoid the scourge of war, that is also an acceptable thing, but with what a monk like himself can come up with, I am afraid that it is impossible to impress the Jairian Dragon King.
So Liang Cheng said: "Thank you Prime Minister Zuo for dealing with the lowly position, but the lowly position is worried that the people from the Jianwei Department are not good, and the price to ask for is probably not something that the lowly function can afford, otherwise, of course, the lowly position is willing to break the wealth and avoid disasters and give the king of Jianhua appropriate compensation." ”
Wei Honglin smiled and said, "Hehe! You don't have to worry too much about this, let's wait for the old man to communicate with the other party." But where is the whereabouts of that little dragon? You tell the old man first, if this matter is clarified, it will be easier to negotiate with the Sea Clan, and the whole matter will not be difficult to solve. ”
Of course, Liang Cheng couldn't say that the little loach had been sold to the owner of Haiyuan Island, Xuan Wei Lao Dao, so he had to make it up randomly: "After the humble position slashed the little green dragon with a sword, he turned around and ran away, so the humble position does not know his whereabouts and whether he is alive or dead. ”
"Is that so...... Alas!" Wei Honglin frowned after hearing this, and then said: "Forget it, anyway, King Jairus also said that his grandson's soul lamp is still on, which means that this little dragon is not dead, since he is not dead, there is room for things to turn around." This matter is still waiting for the old man to probe the mouth of the King of Jianxi, and when there is new news, the old man will send someone to inform you, you should rest now, the city defense should be strengthened in the place where it should be reinforced, and you can only make peace if you can fight. ”
"Yes!" the officials of Wanghai City bowed and replied.
Wei Honglin glanced at Liang Cheng with a flickering gaze, then slowly raised his figure, turned around and walked towards the temporary residence built by his own children on the opposite hill as luxuriously as a palace.
Liang Cheng didn't hold back, but just led the crowd to bow slightly, and said: "Congratulations to Prime Minister Zuo!"
After Wei Honglin left, the expression on Liang Cheng's face was thoughtful, but he quickly put aside other things for the time being, and first saluted the old Yuanying monk He Buwei and Cai Ding and Xu Long.
Liang Cheng said: "Thank you seniors and two Taoist friends for helping to defend the city in time, now that the war is over, you are also very tired, I will arrange for the three of you to rest first." ”
Why don't you smile and say: "I am very happy that the old man can contribute to Wanghai City, to be honest, today is also the happiest day that the old man has lived for many years, and he has found the sharpness that he has lost for a long time! The Dao heart has reached a lot, maybe with this, he can live for a few more years, hahaha! So the city lord doesn't have to see outside, you can just set aside a simple place to live in the barracks for us to rest and recuperate, if the sea clan dares to attack again, the old man is willing to listen to General Tonghai's dispatch at any time!"
Cai Ding and Xu Long also laughed and expressed the same determination, and Tonghai hurriedly humbled and sent someone to arrange for them to go down to rest.
After arranging these three high-ranking monks, Liang Cheng said to Tonghai: "General Tonghai, I will favor you now, although Wei Xiang has the intention of talking about peace, but we still can't leave anything to chance, we still have to be ready for a full-scale war with the Sea Clan, and we must not be careless at this time." ”
Tong Hai said solemnly: "Yes! The last general understands this truth! City defense is the last general's duty, in this matter, the last general will never be negligent, city lord, please rest assured!"
Liang Cheng nodded: "General Tonghai is doing things, of course I don't worry! Then it's hard for General Tonghai, now I'll go and see the situation at the north gate." ”
After speaking, Liang Cheng used the method of shrinking and moving along the city wall to the north gate, and in an instant, he came to the city gate tower of the north gate, Liang Cheng looked around, and saw a mess everywhere, the beach on the head of the city was bloodstained, and there were bricks and gravel and splattered venom everywhere, which showed that this was just now
Li had experienced a fierce battle, and the corpses of the sea tribe under the city walls were also dead and wounded, and the condition was very miserable.
Seeing the city lord coming, the north gate guard and a group of defenders hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and said together: "See the city lord!"
Liang Cheng nodded: "Everyone has worked hard!
The general at the north gate replied: "Master Shu is personally taking care of the injured brothers in the barracks below, is the city lord going to find Lord Shu now? ”
Liang Cheng shook his head and said, "You don't have to go and invite, continue with the things at hand, repair the damaged places well, and strictly prevent the Sea Clan from attacking again!" Okay, you can continue to do things, I will go to Master Shu." ”
After saying that, Liang Cheng went down the city tower and came to the camp tent that was temporarily set up to house the wounded inside the north gate, and after entering this camp tent, he saw that it was well arranged, and rows of wounded people were lying on the bunks to be treated by the medical officers, although they were very busy, but the order was not chaotic at all.
Liang Cheng nodded, continued to walk inside, and after a while, he saw Shu Tuan being there to comfort the wounded soldiers and boost morale.
Liang Cheng thought that Master Shu's work was reliable, and he was indeed a person who could take charge of himself, so he walked into the camp tent, and everyone saw that it was the city lord who came, and hurriedly prepared to give a salute.
Liang Cheng saw that this was a full tent of wounded, of course he would not pay any attention to etiquette in this kind of place, so he hurriedly stopped them from getting up and saluting, and said a word to comfort them, and also looked at the injuries of the wounded beside him one by one.
Liang Cheng, who felt that the treatment was inappropriate, directly took action to treat it, and with his Dan Dao attainments, the battle injuries of these low-level monks were just simple external injuries.
Not to mention such an injury, even if the severed hand and foot are severely poisoned, Liang Cheng can restore them to their original state.
After half an hour of treatment, almost all the wounded in the camp were treated, but these people had just recovered from their injuries, and all of them were a little weak and their faces were a little bad.
Seeing this, Liang Cheng took out all kinds of recovery pills like water, gave them to everyone, and told them to take them on time.
After Liang Cheng's skillful rejuvenation, the injuries at the north gate of Wanghai City were properly treated, and the morale was greatly boosted for a while, and the morale that had been somewhat low after the brutal and fierce battle suddenly rose again.
Liang Cheng walked out of the camp accompanied by Shu Tuan, came to a slightly quieter place, and then asked Shu Tuan about the battle situation at the north gate just now, as well as the casualties of the defenders.
Listening to Shu Tuan's eloquent words, Liang Cheng learned that the battle here was very fierce, and the casualties of the defenders were relatively large.
He asked Shu Tuan, "The Sea Clan has launched such a fierce attack at the north gate, causing heavy casualties among the garrisons, why don't you warn the east gate? ”
Shu Tuan hurriedly replied: "City Lord, in the battle at the North Gate, the attack of the low-level Sea Clan is indeed very fierce, but they have not used high-end combat power, so we can defend it." The subordinates considered that the east gate is the direction to face the sea clan, and the garrison pressure will only be greater, so there is no warning, this is not the conceit of the subordinates, the subordinates have been paying attention to the situation at the north gate, if it is beyond the power of the juncture, the subordinates will definitely warn and ask for assistance in time, this is well known to the subordinates, please rest assured that the city lord!"
Liang Cheng nodded and said: "I have always been relieved to do things in Master Shu, in fact, the reason why I came to you now is to discuss something with you, and I want to hear your opinion on this matter." ”
"Oh, thank you for the trust of the city lord!" Shu Tuan asked, "What kind of thing is it?" Shu Tuan would like to hear about it. ”
